Message text written by INTERNET:ORMULTNO-L@rootsweb.com >Would you mind looking up another when you have access to the Portland directories? My g-grandfather, Moses Robinett, was believed by my mother to have lived in Portland at the time of his death in about 1923. Could you check the directories around that time (1919-1923)? Were there directories for any of the outlying towns? Many thanks in advance, Dorothy in Soquel, California < Sure. I'll be at the library tomorrow night, and check them both.
